I really think the kids who were adopted from China should go back to visit, so they
could see what kind of life they might have in the orphanages if they never immigrated
to America and of course to see China. I will definitely recommend Lotus Travel to
others because Ms. Lea and her staff provided us with great service, interesting tours and
kept us safe the entire trip.
